But the reality is that we are not willing to do what it takes to fully integrate a large immigrant population. <br /><br />Europe is full of immigrants in isolated communities with weak growth and less access to good jobs. Even the progressive explanation for terrorism recognizes that this is a breeding ground for terrorism. <br /><br />The USA is not a high-growth economy any more, mainly due to demographic factors. Progressive policies and conservative policies haven't turned it around. The economy which integrated millions of immigrants in the 20th century was fueled by fossil fuels, cheap land acquisition, massive resource use, high birthrate and low labor regulations.<br /><br />They were also met with a uniformity of culture and purpose towards growth in family wealth in the American Way. We don't have that now, but the Tsarnaev brothers were brought up in a comprehensive culture of multicultural humanistic tolerance in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They got as good as progressivism can offer. Whatever the benefits of this culture it hasn't stood up to the vision of identity presented by hard-line Islam. <br /><br />The progressive response is for massive social spending on immigrants. Again this takes money we don't have and are not realistically going to tax out of the economy. <br /><br />Solving the world's problems by bringing some slice of the affected people here to the USA is hypocritical patting yourself on the back in the best of circumstances. It leaves a much greater proportion of the people in terrible situations but makes us feel good. <br /><br />Arguments to this kind of logic are just minor resistance that will be swept away in the flood of anger that will come when a massive attack is successful here. When history looks back at us, will it matter whether the invasion of Iraq came in 1992 or 2003 or 2016? I don't see the trajectory changing now, there is a major bloodbath on the way and we are going to have to pick sides. <br />wellbasicallynoreply@blogger.com
